Brazil booked a World Cup quarter-final place as Neymar turned on the style and Mexico waved goodbye to Russia.

The boiling heat of Samara – it was around 35 degrees Celsius at kick-off – was no place for the faint-hearted and Mexico hinted at an upset for much of an even first half.

But Neymar claimed his 57th international goal six minutes into the second period, before setting up substitute Roberto Firmino late on to complete brazil’s 2-0 win.

The opener was a well-crafted goal started by the latest wearer of the famous number 10 Brazil shirt.

Willian accepted his cute back-heel to sprint around Hugo Ayala and Neymar, continuing his run into the penalty area, slid home the Chelsea man’s cross from a few feet out.

A last-eight place was confirmed two minutes from time when Neymar broke down the left and set up Firmino, who had only been on the pitch a few moments, to apply the simplest of finishes.

The only downside for brazil was a yellow card for Casemiro, the influential midfielder’s second of the tournament and one which will rule him out of the quarter-final.
